It just confirmed my thought that when a woman has the beauty in her face (and not just in her body) to attract a man, it doesnt matter if she covers up her hair or not.. She will remain attractive anyway.

But if we could speak about the women who really choose to wear headcovering on religious grounds, I am happy to see that Turkish women can look this 'fashionable' and attractive, yet follow the 'rules of their faith'.


The reason I just cant enjoy looking at headscarves is, that I never dare to trust the women who say they want this themselves..

Yes. Christine's explanation matches the way I know it. Gelse is more hypothetically, there is no such case. Gelirse carries a condition in it for the second part of the sentence to happen.

If we all decide that abortion should be/stay legal, there is no point in setting a limit. It then means that we agree it is an option worth using sometimes, and in that case a limit cant be set..

The reason I would never want an abortion is the harm it could bring to your body, that it could even take away your ability to ever get children. But that is just a personal thought on the matter.

I believe sex something to be between couples, whether they are in a strong commitment, a marriage or a one-night-stand. These are all personal choices, and the fact that I think 'no sex before marriage' is non-sense, doesnt mean I promote one-night-stands either. Everybody lives according to their own standards, and that is also how you find your partner in bed (leaving rape and abuse out). Sexual feelings emerge around the age of 15, and its perfectly healthy and normal for young adults to have their first sexual experiences at the age of 17 (basing these numbers according to Dutch society). I think that as long as you think you are old enough to have sex, you should be responsible enough to protect unwanted pregnancies. There are lots of ways to avoid them, most of them perfectly safe. I believe the morning-after pill to be the only option in case of a torn condom or a rape. Not because I am against the use of morning-after-pills, but I am against irresponsibility on matters that involve life, especially when it is a life that will bind 3 people with eachother for the rest of their lives.

I have double feelings about abortion, but can think of scenarios that it could be prefered (eg. the risk of the mother-to-be's life, as mentioned before) and find it short-sighted to just 'degrade' it to 'murder'.

However, after reading some arguements pro-adoption, I have to admit that that option never came to my mind. I have always believed that, if the parents (or one of them) dont think he/she can offer a good home and a future for the baby (either financially or emotionally, things that have to be stable in a relatinship before starting a family), abortion seems the sollution. But adoption.. You got me all thinking on this topic again


To speak for myself, I for myself dont see abortion as an opiton, if I would, unplanned, get pregnant. Maybe I could not offer the child the future that I could after graduating and making money, but I know I have to offer enough to bring it to life. And I think that is what matters.
